At The Arthur Ashe Student Health and Wellness Center (The Ashe Center), we are devoted to providing quality, accessible, state-of-the-art healthcare and education to support the unique development of all UCLA students. Personally, I manage the HRC Healthcare Equality Index certification for The Ashe Center, so I am especially focused on eliminating health disparities for LGBTQ+ folks seeking care during their college experience.

It's inspiring to see our Bruins break down barriers in all areas --from gender roles to more political causes like gun safety legislation, safeguarding democracy, and climate justice-- all to build a more inclusive, service-driven world for the rest of us.  Our students often see us when they are feeling exhausted and unwell, so it's especially gratifying to provide them with the support and care they need to continue to thrive.
